A Summer Place
Percy Faith and His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
And my heart is free from all care
For it knows
When seen through the eyes
Of those who are blessed with love
And the sweet secret of
A summer place
Is that it's anywhere
When two people share
All their hopes
All their dreams
All their love
There's a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I'm safe and warm
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms
In your arms, in your arms

The singer describes a place where it may rain or storm, but they feel safe and warm because of the love and comfort they find in their partner's arms. They express that the beauty of this summer place is that it isn't a physical location, but rather a state of mind that can be shared between two people in love. In this state, all worries and cares disappear, and the world is a joyful, uplifting place. The lyrics suggest that when two people are in love, they can create their own summer place no matter what environment they find themselves in.

Don't worry, it made it to TikTok. 😂 No one will remember what it's called or who recorded it, but it will be the background music for countless "POV: You're on the beach and this happens" videos.
